The attached pic shows the framing for the garden shed that will be built when our new home goes up this summer and fall. The shed roof is designed to complement and match the house. We’ve a quote for $475 from our supplier for the roof truss package for this shed. The shed is 12×12, the porch columns sit out another 3 feet, and the roof projects out 24 inches all around. Roof pitch is 8:12. The truss package quote includes the 5 main trusses, two gable trusses, 4 hips, and all the little monotrusses that do the overhangs at the gable sides. Labor rates for framers are high where we are building. Will we be better off to stick frame this?
